I like the real-time location monitor or RTLS feature. It is similar to the monitoring feature in Cisco Prime.

Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network.

I like that it supports all our Huawei devices. Unlike other network monitoring tools that monitor Huawei devices, it provides more details when it comes to monitoring or management. We can get complete details about the devices, and management is also simple.

Huawei eSight Cons review quotes

eSight has many features and options, but sometimes, we feel that it should be more advanced, like Cisco. It would be good if they can enable some automation part in eSight. Most of our customers want automation in their network. They don't want a dependency on everything. That's why the automation part must be improved in Huawei. It will be beneficial for customers. Cisco has different products, and there are multiple products for monitoring, automation, etc. In the software-defined network, Cisco has ACI, and VMware has NSX. Such options must be there in Huawei to move to a software-defined network. Unlike Cisco, in the case of eSight, there is only one product. I am not aware of any other product. It would be good to enhance it with at least some automation options so that we can use it effectively in the campus network or big data center environment. When I implemented this Huawei solution, I faced some limitations in particular areas like wireless scanning. This is another part that they can improve. Wireless reporting option is not as effective as other monitoring solutions. For a particular use case, if a customer is asking for some reports, sometimes they are not 100% satisfactory. The reporting structure must be improved.

The variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex.

This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices.

It will be better if they can make the simple network topology part more presentable. It would also be better if they had API integration and integration with third-party devices.

Huawei eSight should work on the option to have the email notification working on Office 365 Exchange.

The solution needs to improve it's user interface to make it more modern and stylish. They need to design proper menu positions, features, etc. Right now the layout is complicated.

Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting.

The solution and the operating system come separately. It would be easier if we did not have to deploy anything. A bundle feature would be better.

The price could be less costly.
